When 17-year-old Kahlila Williams heard ex-police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd, she felt a sense of resolve she knew it signaled that her work as a student activist was only beginning.
A leader with Students Deserve, Williams is part of a student-led organization that helped to successfully push the school board to defund the Los Angeles School Police Department last summer. Yet the high school senior who will be attending UCLA in the fall acknowledged that the work to reimagine policing and ending police brutality against Black Americans is still in progress.
This past week represented “a moment where you can just breathe, where you can take some space to celebrate, but also understand that there’s work that needs to be done,” Kahlila said.

A pine barrens tree frog. The Earth and Florida is a magical home for all of us.
We are all connected by the environment we share. The Earth is our home. This is the space where we share the environmental stories that caught our attention this week, in Florida and beyond.
This week saw Earth Day celebrations around the world. Governor Ron DeSantis marked Earth Day with the announcement that the South Florida Water Management District Governing Board has unanimously approved an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intended to keep the Army Corps on track with federal construction of the long-stalled Everglades Agricultural Area reservoir in Palm Beach County.
President Joe Biden s newly confirmed housing secretary met with Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on Friday to discuss a share of federal stimulus money to combat homelessness, a constant and thorny problem for the Denver metro area.
Colorado stands to gain $67 million total from the $2.2 trillion American Rescue Plan, including $24.7 million state s division of housing.
Local governments will have the flexibility to use the money for housing and homelessness programs as they see fit. There are few essentials that come before everything else in life, but housing is one of those, Polis said.
The governor said it was not just the compassionate thing to do, but a smart investment, as well. He said typically in Colorado 8 out of 10 people placed in housing stay housed.
